Social Connect Facebook App

Social Connect (A Facebook Dating App)
I came across this app that just launched on Facebook. It’s billed as a lifestyle and dating app, and it’s all that and much more – Social Connect can be just for fun and it’s very entertaining and informative.
Even though I already have a girlfriend, and so I’m not searching for a mate, I can see why Social Connect can become popular for those users seeking to add a little spice or romance in their lives by connecting with a compatible partner.
I used Social Connect to find a sports partner, as I’m trying to get in top shape. I found a gowl named Lara, and she’s been teaching me Yoga, spinning, Tai Chi, and we help each other with cardio training.
Social Connect is a real hoot! You can ask users secret questions. Someone asked me if I had ever displayed public affection, and of course I have – in trees, in the cloud forest, in the forest canopy and just above the waterfalls. In fact, most of my romantic encounters have been outdoors.
There’s also a section called Rate Me, where you can rate members based on appearance, if they so choose to be rated. I’m a little shy, but I may be tempted to get rated in the future.
I really love the charm section where you can send other users charms such as single roses, diamond rings (of the virtual kind), chocolate kisses, wine, tropical flowers, and cards. You also can send what they call “Connects”, which are messages, as well as winks and ice-breakers.
You can keep your favorite charms in a treasure box, and you can send charms and invites to your selected friends.
Social Connect has to be the most exciting dating app, with all its nifty features such as the Guardian feature for safer dating, Favescape for checking in and checking out local hot spots, and its location-aware and updating platform through its integration with Foursquare and Twitter (one of my fave applications; after all, it’s got a bird as its logo), a Social Card, which provides your profile and whatever faves, and a What’s New section to check out your new charms, messages, and to even check out who might have peeked at your profile.
If I were not in a serious relationship, I’d use the Social Connect app to find a compatible mate. But it’s also fun for rating and sending charms, and the FaveScape section sure provides some great tips on trying out local eateries and taverns and cafes.
